March 2013

The Rixos in sharm el sheikh, a very big hotel with approximately 700 rooms different art! We had ultra booked all inclusive, which means, that you at the usual all inclusive services the 6 à la carte restaurants had (early reservation is recommendable!). Free wi-fi you have in the main building, we had the luck in the room also wi-fi to receive! The guest structure is different: you will find families with/without children, freundschaftsgruppen and the hotel seems to be very popular with russians. Circa 95% of the guests are russians, one becomes easily 'hit' of so much 'east-block' - ... mentaliät! No noisy, popelnden russians, but with some lacks the decency (3-4 seen situations, where the mouth remained open!) And flip-flops and strandshorts you see often during dinner as abendgardarobe! read more

Room
5.0

We had a junior suite booked (section 7701). This was at 2. pool, where the evening entertainment until 23:00 o'clock took place (were not a nuisance or with a good view on the stage). The suite consists of large bathroom (around 12 to 16 square meter) with rain shower, tub, two sinks and bidet. It has a large window on the sleeping area there. We also had a walk-in closet (really great) with plenty of storage space and a large safe! In addition there was a living area with a free mini bar (daily refilled with soft drinks, water and beer ), electric kettle with coffee and tea, swivel flat screen tv and enough seating! The sleeping area was also large enough, only the beds warning a bit small in der breite, but otherwise comfortable! The balcony was enough by the size sufficient and we had a good view on the stage in the evening program.
Gastronomy
6.0

There are two main restaurant, the 'zodiac' close to the beach and the 'nefertiti', where children under 12 years no entry have. Besides that the hotel offers 6 à-la-carte restaurants. We could unfortunately only the indians visit (great food, great service, little 'cold' interior). It is therefore an immediate reservation very recommendable. Otherwise is the food really great! There are lots of different food and the decoration and presentation of the food was superb-there eat the eye really love with! Also the selection of drinks is very good. One gets even ' brand drinks' than inclusive services (not really typical for al)! Very good! And no stomach-darm risk! All the restaurants were really clean, there was nothing else to say! Only perhaps little understaffed with waiters (at least the main restaurant). The atmosphere zodiac has a little bit of 'sufficient', because it was very hectic and loud (due to children and laptops/trays) happens, because the russian guests like to eat with a multimedia entertainment!
Service
3.0

Service! A slightly 'difficult' issue! Basically can be said, that the staff is very friendly and tried the guest to operate! Unfortunately, it lacks foreign language skills and the hotel employees are very russian guests set. So is the 'hotel language number 1' russian! English was also spoken, not helps one with 'hands and feet'. Complaints we had due to the door to our junior suite, because the door lock was not back, if you handle down pressed, so that the door remained open for leaving of the room (the but we noticed immediately and always the castle from the inside untwisted, so that the door funktonsfähig schloss). In that respect one has nothing in the 5 days our stay! The cleaning of the rooms was always top and the staff really very friendly! Child care is also available, but i can't say more about that, since we no children with us. There is even a hospital close to the spa! Now the 'difficult' topic of service: The Rixos resort & spa a 5 star hotel (category). That means in a luxury hotel, we expect a certain standard! Right zusammenliegendes cutlery on the plate means' i am ready ',' überkreuztes cutlery ' (= fork on the left, knife right) means' i eat still, am not finished yet'! Often it happened, that the basement with ' überkreuztem cutlery' the plates wanted to take and to his plate 'reclaim' had. Once, was even my plate before the nose, because i am with a friend beside me entertained-so what may not be in a star hotel! Just as you should the guest not a white wine brought, if one red wine ordered. This came three times! One evening a swiss pair the full glasses and the cigarettes cleared, although the couple only a dessert to get wanted. When the couple returned, the table was already full of russians! Embarrassing! And should not happen! Clearly, you can the written as' complain of high level ' reputation, but after couple of days makes no fun more on its eating and drinking need to watch out for that! And we are talking of a luxury hotel - no-go! The spa is great, so also the staff!
Sport & Entertainment
6.0

The leisure offer is really good in the hotel! It is an activity program offered at the main pool, a rixi kidsclub is also available, on-site disco and lots of possibilities for exercising directly at the beach. The fitness center is right next to the spa and is well equipped! The spa is really beautiful! And the employees understand something really from their crafts (for the thai massage are even two thais salemp-top!). And also otherwise is the furnishings in spa not only chic, but also really big (sauna, steam bath, hammam, huge jacuzzi, many private massage rooms, lounges). The furniture by the pool and beach are in good condition and not from cheap plastic, but quality rattan furniture. The beach is also very clean! For swimming you had to step over the footbridge into the water and on the jetty are lifeguards available, the also its job very seriously! Pay sports you can directly at the beach book (cheap).

Location
5.0

The hotel is also at the hotel own beach. Depending on, where one a room or a suite has, it is very close to to the beach, but good and easy to reach, if you at the main house a room has (there were also the rooms). The airport is also very close to (around 20 to 30 minutes transfer time). We came from a cruise and wanted us 5 days in the hotel relax and the transfer time from the haven was about 45 minutes and the limousine service is good (good vehicles) and not expensive (35 $altogether). At the beach you can on the promenade walking and so other hotels at the beach happen. Excursions could be right at the hotel or at the beach book. At the beach you talked to in a friendly way. The hotel itself offers a good programme of entertainment for large and small! Also an on-site disco is available, were even however not there. The hotel offers free transportation to Naama Bay, the tourist strip on sinai! However only up to early afternoon (late. 14:30). After that you can at an extra cost, but good value for money, the shuttle service. Opposite the hotel there are a few smaller souvenir shops and a supermarket to find.
